Hallelujah!

[@rebeccacreativearts]

Thanks for a fun and entertaining video on how to make a cover from a quilt scrap.

[@lenoreschurman894]

Oh Rach my sweet friend, thank you so much for your kind words. I do miss being a part of the admin team. Hopefully I can get feeling better so I can once again take part! This had been such a fun video! Your approach to getting things to work together is so awesome! This has been an amazing collaboration! So many awesome people sharing their talents and inspiration! Love & thanks to both you and Angela! ❤❤🌻💛🩵

[@lindalehman4242]

Seeing you not using clips was exciting. I fight with clips when I try using them, thought I was wrong not using them. You made my day, it's the simple things. 😅

[@rinafroneman7787]

The cover is amazing. You should be very proud of your self to attempt it and pull it off online. Well done Rachel. You are an amazing crafter. Xxx

[@bev.wilson1449]

Thank you, Rachel ! Your cover is lovely.

[@dianaroberts6868]

I have “extra” quilt blocks from projects from time to time. This is a great idea.

[@janicestevens8469]

Rachael - I love your quilted journal cover! I have enjoyed your collaboration so much and every artist has been amazing! What a huge job it must have been getting everyone together and get the videos out! It’s a huge success!!! Even more exciting is that I’m the lucky one that won your mother’s wonderful hand crafted needle book! Thank you so much for all the ideas from everyone and for introducing us to all of the exceptional crafters! ❤

[@christyearp]

I have really enjoyed this collaboration! I’m hoping the creators continue posting videos using the kits. So much fun!

[@mcarcopo]

LOVELY!!! Thank you for this!!! Here I grow again!

[@BRebornArtHealing]

I appreciate the updates on design team members and especially Rose. Thank you for another great video ♥️

[@user-tz9dq8fv5g]

I have never thought of using a piece of quilt. Interesting. Opened up new shopping opportunity to find supplies.😊 thank for sharing.

[@jackieross8059]

I love your quilted journal cover. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day!

[@suesettera3453]

Thanks for all your work on the collaboration. This quilted journal cover looks like fun!

[@ruthfinley3720]

This was so fun to watch!❤ Very beautiful!❤ Thank you for sharing!❤ (YOU ARE NOT AN IDIOT)!❤ Have a blessed day!❤ 🥰

[@juliao1255]

I'm an idiot and this is perfect for me. I love soft, yet stiff enough, journal covers, and I am currently challenged with a couple of them I am currently making. Thanks for doing this.

[@risireynolds6881]

Beautiful! I have so many quilt scraps and pieces and have never been able to figure out what to do with them until now. You did a marvelous job Rach. And your binding is super straight. Thank you for putting together this collab.

[@sallydhondt3974]

It's a Psalm 19 day here in Michigan, USA as well! Yay! I don't think in all my years I have ever experienced such a grey winter and spring! I just want to say thanks for the Garden Story collaboration, it's been such fun and I have found many amazing new artists to watch so I very much appreciate all the work you and Angela have put into this. Looking forward to the mini June collaboration with you and Angela, you girls make a great team!

[@lizhughes6681]

Thank you for organizing the colab. It has been brilliant.

[@maryjoglenn1731]

What a lovely project. Thanks for the 'chaotic' process - it encourages me to be looser in my art. 😊❤

[@donnaquick5173]

Thanks for showing us your take on making a cloth journal. This video was very helpful. Such a pretty piece of quilt material.

[@vlacewell1]

It has been amazing! Thank you so much!

[@francesarmstrong957]

What a beautiful cover and journal.

[@sheilaironside8099]

Very nice cover! Love how it came together! Your sewing was lovely! Can't wait to see more! Thank you!

[@brendaflinders7601]

I think you’re doing a great job on this. That is pretty fabric.

[@sandycopeland790]

I love this! The quilted cover is beautiful.

[@brendaflinders7601]

This has been an amazing collaboration Rachel. I’ve loved it and gotten so much wonderful inspiration. 💖

[@kellymorrison1648]

This collaboration has just been amazing especially for a newbie like me. Thank you so much.

[@lindahyem5804]

Love your journal cover! I have enjoyed all the collaborates and their videos. I am through with all them. Thank you. Hugs

[@-Lucy-H]

Have watched everyones video in the collaboration, they've all been amazing 💕 I've made lots of the projects they've shown us, so inspiring. Thanks for arranging all this with Angela, it's been amazing 😊💕

[@lindacurtis6527]

This Journal Cover is so far already beautiful 😍. I love your work and all are in my prayers.

[@cindyrose9083]

Thank you for your work on this collaboration. I really enjoyed watching and learning.

[@caroleaster5270]

Thank you so much for putting together this fabulous, creative collaboration! I’m a slow stitcher and I think you did a great job at making your quilted journal cover. I hope it the beginning of many more to come.

[@lkahvaz]

So beautiful. I don't feel comfortable yet with sewing but your covers are very inspiring. I have really enjoyed this collaboration. Thank you!

[@lindastory]

Loved watching and learning how to make the journal cover. Thank you so much for all your hard work putting together the current collaboration. I have thoroughly enjoyed each and every video.

[@meridadiane]

Now you have a huggable journal 😊

[@RachandBellaCrafts]

Absolutely xxxx

[@vesscalleja]

Love that you opened with scripture today @RachandBella and so wonderful to hear you have some sunshine 🌞 I have that Inspire bible too! The colouring pages are a wonderful addition when sitting with the word ✝️📖 So excited to watch this video as I've admired Bella's beautiful covers and wondered how they were made. I'm not a sewer (seamstress) so didn't think it was possible for me to even try, but yay, the idea of purchasing a quilt piece, or using a cushion cover is such a fab idea. Thanks so much Rach for sharing with us beginners (dummies) who have no idea where to start 😊😅 Blessings xo

[@LottiesMagicAttic]

Beautiful cover love the quilted look this collaboration has been so good a little sad to see it over 😢 loved all the collaborators and videos thank you for putting these together

[@jennip8585]

Every bit of this has been incredible 💞 Every creator has had a really thought-out project and I've gotten some really, really good ideas from them. I am finally caught up now ... Whew 🥰 The kits are also amazing!! I've had so much fun with this!!💞✨: and then there's the freebies... You've gone way above in your giving: you and Angela both. ❤ Thank you for this too. I wish I lived closer. I'd buy all of Bella's quilted pieces AND her journal!!🥰 I love this look. I wish I could quit. The title of this is hilarious.😂☺️

[@joyceperkins49]

Thank you for another amazing video!

[@jacquelineteague3545]

[@lornabee309]

Fabulous cover, Rachel! I am loving this collaboration! Will be sorry to see it end - but am excited to hear you and Angela have something planned for June.

[@kristinehuggins4389]

What a lovely journal! I’m glad you had a sunny day! Thank you for always inspiring me ❤

[@bigstevep]

Easy-peasy...I feel like I could sew this! lol

[@kelseythomas3365]

Thanks for sharing!

[@sandyharris8767]

thank you so much have a wonderful time at the retreat

[@dianecole-smith6000]

Morning, Rachel!! I've watched all the fabulous videos in the colab. , but I'm not one for commenting. I had to on this video because you really have inspired me to go out and get some quilting material and cover each of my 4 signatures. I'll make two sleeves so they will stand up on my shelf! I've been struggling with what I wanted to do for a cover and this is it!! Yah!!Thanks so much🥰😘🤗

[@Llama_Whisperer]

I just made my first “quilted” cover. I used a puffy mailer and wallpaper. Watching yours has given me ideas to do more. TFS ❤

[@RachandBellaCrafts]

Wonderful!

[@julieanneworth9886]

Thank you Alyssa for the tutorial, look forward to seeing the rest of your creativity ❤

[@sheliaporter6795]

I love this quilted cover! It's so pretty. I have loved this collaboration so much. I'm running a bit behind in watching everyone's video, but I'm catching up! 😆 Thank you! ❤😊

[@shellylaw4]

Thank you Rachel!

[@rlgillette]

I had so much fun in the collab. And, I'm planning on going back over the next couple weeks and doing more of the video tutorials (needed to order some supplies). Cant wait. Thank so much for this collab. : )

[@cheryldouglas234]

Beautiful cover! Thank you for sharing ❤️❤️❤️❤️😊🌈

Another great video. Thanks for shaing your creative ideas with us.

[@brendaflinders7601]

Thank you Rachel so much.

[@lyndaanscombe228]

Wow, love what you have done for your journal…I quilt and to see you use it to cover a journal is beautiful, I have so loved participating in this collaboration and to see the creativity from everyone, just awesome, love it 🥰🌺❤️🌷

[@JanalynnM]

I loved watching all these artists videos. I have learned so much.

[@hilltopviewjournals]

Gorgeous rustic journal ❤

[@blackcoffeeandwildflowers]

You made that look so easy! I’m still trying to make a straight line on my sewing machine. 😂 But how wonderful to use an old baby’s quilt to make a cover. I will do a practice run first, really don’t want to mess up something so dear to someone. I have to admit, I’m finding it really difficult to keep up with all these great videos in this collaboration. Two a day is alot. ThoughI have thoroughly enjoyed every one I’ve watched. So much inspiration! Hopefully we will have a couple of weeks at the end to finish them all. And I feel like I’ve missed something important if I miss even one 😂. Just amazing ideas with amazing kits! Hugs ❤️🤗

[@debbiebaker4515]

Loved watching your process. This is beautiful.

[@lorifitzgibbon3085]

Oh my, what a fabulous thing to hear! Thank you for sharing that. It just made my day. Your Garden Story with Angela has just been wonderful. I have so enjoyed all the videos. The paper kits are so gorgeous, I just got mine and can't want to use them.

[@shulaney4639]

Lots of fun!!!

[@beckyb4074]

Hello Rach, I enjoyed listening to you today even if I didn't get to watch the video. I wouldn't mind having a bit of your energy, just because currently I'm feeling a bit drained, but you make me laugh and chuckle with your Welshness. Thank you for being you. Take care and God bless you and yours. Sincerely Becky B from Arkansas

[@chizb1]

Loved this Rachel so free. think I would struggle this way, but you have it nailed. Thank you for sharing! 💜

[@donnaarendall1093]

I would love to join you and bring the rest of our little group " The Scrappy Chicks" for the summer retreat. We talked about it but, unfortunately, our schedules for the 4 of us are not lining up. If we come it would be at least a 10 day trip as the pond is deep and wide.

[@VictoriabarbaraLeslie-lp5lo]

Love this!

[@DianeHelbling]

Enjoyed watching you make this journal cover. Its just my style of figuring it out too! Thank you for this collaboration! It has been amazing to watch so many, new to me, wonderful creators using this beautiful kit! Thank you, thank you! I am looking forward to June's collab!

[@lrtproductions2635]

Thanks for showing us how to make a fabric cover using quilting. Yours turned out great. This has been a fabulous collaboration. Thanks for all your hard work and time commitment to arrange it for us. I wish I was in the Uk. I would love to come to a retreat with all of you. Unfortunately I am in Canada.

[@snurse59]

Thanks for this collaboration. Really have enjoyed all of it. Found new artists to follow and have enjoyed all their creative ideas. Learned a lot.

[@AngelaKerrDesigns]

My dear friend you are just amazing in every way. I love watching you craft, You give me a different stance on so many things and that is just fantastic! I do love how you used a quilt scrap to make your cover and using the fabric to make piping was a great idea. So looking forward to your flip through. Right, less talking now, I just heard you say I am doing a journal flip through tomorrow! I had better get a wiggle on. HAHA. Hugs and blessings xoxo

[@phyllisj73]

I'm looking through my fingers while you use that craft knife to unpick 😱
